Just like lovers

Could we walk together just like lovers
Our hands entwined, or holding each other
Would you ask me to keep you safe
From the evil that surrounds this place
Will you ask me to write you a song
I wish you would, been wishing that so long
Could I keep you protected from the rain
You can ask me, I will again and again
Would you ever think of me at night
When you're alone and i'm out of sight
Would you ever respond to my letter
Could you save the tear making my cheek wetter
Would you miss me if I wasn't here
I doubt you even remember me, my dear
I wish you'd take the time to read these words
Somehow I suspect my wish will go unheard
So for the last time, could we walk just like lovers
Or is this a wasted effort, like all the others

That you will, my dear

That you will, my dear Millage. Due for a poetry reading? Where? Wish I were there. Why not record some here too? Imo, the last line is begging for an *all*, n'est ce pas? Hugs, Anna "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha

Love wonders and torments

When we live attached to somebody, we grow links which are hardly broken or forgotten.. with love comes pain.. A sense of loss instills itself albeit emotions.. I liked the way you captured these feelings, the single truth..
